Lyrics:

> Human beings fascinate me, being just the way they are!
> Tell me, little pony, can you push a cart or drive a car?
> Lyre is my instrument, but humans strum their sweet guitar
> It's a mystery, anthropology!
>
> Fingers, toes and tiny noses, brownish hair and tannish skin
> Would it be too much to ask to see the world they're living in?
> Everybody tells me that it's old and fake mythology
> It's a mystery, anthropology!
>
> Aren't you bored of brushing your coat, styling your mane with your hooves?
> I don't mean to butt in or gloat, but ancient history proves…
>
> Humans don't have wings or magic. They don't need it; they don't care!
> All they've got's imagination, new inventions everywhere!
> Babies, children, teens and elders, all alike have clothes to wear
> It's so real to me, anthropology!
>
> Albert Einstein, Cleopatra, William Shakespeare, Elton John,
> Michael Phelps, Barack Obama…who's to say that they're all gone?
> Maybe humans like us too and dress like us at Comic-Con? ;)
> It's so real to me, anthropology!
>
> Yeah, they've had a couple of fights,
> Nobody's perfect you see,
> Still I say I'm born with the rights
> to study whatever I please!
>
> I don't need to horse around now, I can stand on two legs!
> I would trade my magic powers for a pair of new legs!
> Grab your camera, come on, zoom in!
> 'Cause your favorite mare's a human,
> ME!
>
> That is who I'll be!
> Anthropology! shh.
